Yesterday I tried cooking Cajun chicken and it turned out quite nice.

Cajun sauce ingredients:
1/2 pc green pepper
1/2 pc red pepper
2 medium-size tomatoes
Mccormick’s cajun seasoning / paprika powder / salt

1. Blend the peppers and tomatoes in a food blender
2. Bring to boil in a saucepan, adding cajun seasoning, salt and/or paprika powder to taste

The sauce is enough for several servings, and tastes good enough in my opinion to match bottled salsa dip sold in supermarkets.

Cajun chicken ingredients:
Cajun sauce, as above
Skinless and boneless chicken thighs or breasts, flattened
Mccormick’s cajun seasoning / paprika powder
Fresh lime/lemon
Olive oil

1. Mix olive oil, cajun seasoning / paprika powder and freshly squeezed lime / lemon juice together
2. Marinate chicken (preferably overnight)
3. Grill or fry on skillet until cooked, sprinkling more cajun seasoning or paprika powder as needed
4. Serve with a generous dose of cajun sauce on top

I also made mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes ingredients:
2 whole potatoes, peeled and cubed
Light soya sauce or salt
Fresh milk
Margarine or butter

1. Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water
2. Bring to boil and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or till tender
3. Drain water
4. Return potatoes to a hot pan/pot and cook for 2 minutes to evaporate remaining water
5. Add milk and margarine/butter. Add some soya sauce or salt
6. Mash till the potatoes are completely… mashed.

The picture doesn’t do justice… it was taken with a camera phone. =)
